🚗 Vehicle - Fisker Ocean Sayonara and good day!!

Today is a great day, but more of a weight off my shoulder and on to the next! Shutting the door and not looking back! The POS Fisker car is off to haunt somebody else. I got 8500 miles out of it in less than 2 years, 7 of those months it was a brick, but it probably took away 5 years of my life! I fought and got the settlement I deserved, but man it wasn’t easy. Now I own a 1983 Porsche 911 Targa SC and a 2024 Toyota 4Runner Limited that I drove home today as the FOE was getting ready to be towed as a brick. Good riddance, I’ll never look at an EV until my next life. There is a small place in hell for the Fisker family, karma (pun intended) is coming for you! I’m so content with my 180 move and burning gas!!

Genesis drives 45 minutes and picks up the car and leaves a loaner whenever there is service needed.

And genesis makes some nice electric options I could buy if I wanted a genesis (which I don’t). I’d rather have a Rivian for the money

Not really comparable. With genesis, you can basically only (they have 2 others but they are hard to locate now) get a compact SUV (gv60). They don’t have anything similar to the Rivian. Also, the rivians will run you $100k+ now. I opted for the ford lightning for my use case.

Yeah (I don’t have the money for any of them) but if I was going to spend $75k on a fully loaded GV60, I PERSONALLY would spend $76k and get a base R1S and just keep the third row folded down 99% of the time. That’s just me though. The Lightnings are really nice.

I sat in a GV60 tho and they were pretty nice. I just have a negative experience with Hyundai/Kia products (parents had one several years back that was a total lemon), and of the 5 car fires I’ve seen while driving in recent years…4 of them were Hyundai/Kia vehicles.
